I fully agree on the part about comfort and listening all day. The part about amping is not exactly right. I have had a Burson HA-160D, WA2 and Meier Classic and they all sounded good. Maybe different, but never ear-piercing or anywhere near that.

I would choose Seagate. The simple reason is the WD drives have their idiotic WD SES driver that always causes problems when connecting the drive to a PC the first time. For me in 21st century that sis a complete deal breaker as it makes the drive not entirely plug and play.

Anyone using this amp woth Fostex TH-600/ 900? It sounds great with T1s as some have already mentioned, but I am thinking about getting a pair of closed headphones and wondering what you guys use with this amp.
